Pokémon CrystalDust

Welcome to the world of Pokémon Crystal. All over again.

Pokémon CrystalDust is a remake of Pokémon Crystal with the engine from Pokémon Emerald. See the game come to life in ways you never imagined as you experience the jump from the Game Boy Color to the Advance!

Following in the footsteps of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, enjoy everything as you remember but recreated with an awesome amount of polish. Never before has Johto looked, felt, and sounded so nice on the GBA!

Q: Why does Joey act like a Hiker when I call him on the Pokégear?
or Q: Why can't I add anybody but Joey to the Phone Card?
A: The Phone card isn't finished yet, so regular trainers you add don't work the way they should yet.
